i Application led. March 3, 1917.. eral No. 152,368.

To all 107mm t may concern: i

Be it known that I, ALnn'rUs DAI/ron, a citizen ofthe United States, and resident of Farmington, in the county of Fulton and State oflllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vater-Heating Devices, of which the following is avspeciication.

rlhis invention relates to the class of devices used in heating water for stock or for domestic purposes, and its object is to provide a heatingdevice which maybeused with equal facility in different depths of water. p i

My invention comprises a heating chamber having heat conveying conduits extending outwardly therefrom and of an adjustable float means associated with the heating chamber Lpermitting a variation in the distance of the heating conduits from the upper surface of the water.

A furtherA obj provide anapparatus of the class described, in which the parts thereof are closely assembled,` and combined, thereby taking up a minimum amount of` space and rendering the device especiallyapplicable for operation in confined places.

Other improvements and novel details in the construction and arrangement lof the several parts of the apparatusV will be brought out more in detail in the description to follow, which, for a clear understanding of the invention, should be considered in connection with thejac'companying drawing, forming a part hereof, and wherein is disclosed, for the purpose of illustration, convenient and satisfactory embodiments of the invention. It is to be noted, in this connection, that minor changes in the construction and arrangement of the various parts may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention or the principle of operation of the various parts.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of my invention, part thereof being fragmentary, and

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawing by the same reference characters.

My invention comprises a vertically mounted sleeve member designated 1 having the lower end 2 thereof closed. ln the up;

ect of the invention is to l per section of, saidsleeve member a fuel receptacle` SisA formed therein thus forming a heating chamber 4 .intermediate the bottom of the `sleeve member and the fuel receptacle. A handle 5 is formed on the fuel receprarement neainiaiv;

tacle providing means for removing the said i receptaclefromthe sleeve when so desired. Acap member@ is provided on the upper vportion ofthe said receptacleto provide means for refilling the same. A pipe 7 extendsdownwardly from the fuel receptacle and is provided adjacent its end with a burner 8 for an obvious purpose.

Av sheet metal heat retaining chamber rectangular in cross vsection but of a circular conliguration is provided having the heat retaining chamber Aconcentrically arranged therein. The heat retaining chamber designated 9 is provided with apertures 10 forming an inlet means that will be hereinafter described. @utlet apertures 11 are y provided in the sides of the .vertically extending sleeve member adjacent the lheat chamber providing outlet means for the heat which is conveyed to the circular heat retaining chamber by means of the radially extending beat conduits 12 connecting the said apertures. lt is obvious that the heat of the burner will heat `theloil or other fuel as may be used thus increasing its heating powers. rlhe heat will be conveyed fromthe central heating chamber designated L1 through the i ing chamber and is provided with openings therein registering with the openings provided in the circular heat retaining chamber. rlhe pipe 13 extends inwardly from the circular member and is provided with a lateral extension 14 conveying the heat to the uppermost part of the sleeve member thus providing means for the disbursement of the heat above the water line which will prevent any water from entering the heating chambers.

A circular angle iron 15 is mounted on the outer edge of the circular heat retaining chamber and is provided with apertures in its lower edges to receive rod members 16, the opposite ends of which are mounted in openings provided in a base plate 17 having a lateral extension 18. rl`he free ends of the rods 16 are retained in the openings proyvided in the angle iron and in the lat-k or other-luidto'beheatedl provide -a float member '2'0 comprising a circular disk having a concentrical opening therein thus'. permitting the mounting of the float over the sleeve member. The saidfl'oat is :adjustably mounted .on the radially-'extending heat conduits 1Q by meansof-Ythe-coperating angle irons 21,-the saidangle ironsbein'g-provided Ywith vertically extending #openings Vtherein permitting the adjustment othesame. A-bolt member 22 extends through 2saidopenings and by means -of *the "nut and head f thereof provides VV'means for retaining the same in the desired adjusted position.

YV`Conduite28 rare mounted-'on the Ysides of the sleeve-member-providing meansffor oonveyinglair to theheating chamber 4, thus aidingthe-'combustion of theoil or vother heating fuel. An opening 24 is provided on 'each side ofthe sleeve member adjacent the bottomthereof providing aninlet-means foret-he air-conveyedtothe Iconduits 23. An asbestos sheet 25. is; provided "on the bottom of the fuel receptacles '3 to? limit theheatin'g ofthe fuel Within then'eceptaefle 3.V

From-the-above description takenin con'- nection lwith the accompanying drawing, lit

'caribe easily seen that -I have provided a Waterfheatingfdevlioe-that is simple in construction, containing but a 'few simple parts that-canbemanufactured and `assembled at a Vsmall cost. Y y

Having-thusffully describedimy invention, Wha'tl; claim-as netv,1a`11'ddesirev to secure by Letters Patenufis:

`il. ln `a lfd'evic'efof-''tire'fclass described the combination A'of fasleeve :member having apertures" therein, the lowerend being closed forming afhfe'atin'g elramber, a lfuel receptacle formed in the upper end of the sleeve member, a pipe extending from the said receptacle kand provided With a burner, a circular heat retaining conduit, radially extending heat conduits connecting the heat chamber `and the circular heat retaining conduit, a

float adjustably mounted on the upper p0rtion of theradially extending conduits, and means associated with said circular chamber permitting escapement of lthe heat.

2. .In a device of the class described the combination of a vertically extending sleeve member having the lower ends thereof closed, a fuel receptacle formed in the upper end of said sleeve, a heating chamber, said sleeve having openings therein `adjacent the heating chamber, a fuel conveying pipe having a burner on the end thereof extending from the fuel receptacle to the heating chamber, a circular heat retaining chamber havinga plurality of openings therein, means associated with said open-ings to convey heat to the uppermost portions of the device, radially extending heat conduits connecting tlie-rsa'id-apertures and the circular heatretaining chamber, and a float member 'adjustably Connected to the radially extending heat conduitsfor a purpose specified.

3.111 .a device of the class describedthe combination of a vertically extending sleeve member having openings provid-ed intermediate its ends, a heat generating means formed within said sleeve,.a circular hea-t retaining chamber, means for conveying heat from said sleeve member to the heat retaining chamber, ya float member, and means associated with said float member for 'adjustablymounting the same to regulate the fdepth of the heat retaining chamber relative to the surface of the Water.

ln testimony whereof, I. aHix my signature hereto.
